Recipe: Lick Your Fingers Beer, Butter and Garlic Crab Legs

Many of us have this tiny little shop where you have bought some of the most amazing and flavorful foods ever! You know that place you only know about because you stumbled across it one day and decided to try them out! Well there was a tiny seafood shop in Langley Park, Maryland that sold buckets of butter and garlic crabs. They would steam the crabs, cut them in half and then drench them in this butter and garlic sauce WOW! My mother and I used to get these almost every weekend! There was always left over butter and garlic sauce at the bottom of the bucket, which we shamelessly swooped up with our fingers and licked our fingers until all the sauce was gone, WHEW, it was so good!

Since then the little seafood shop has closed down but I wasn’t ready to give up that euphoric experience! So I did what I do best, I started thinking of how I could replicate and improve the recipe. I decided to use crab legs because my husband and I love them. I started day dreaming about the flavors from the little seafood shop and began to write down the ingredients I thought was in the butter and garlic sauce. After three tries let me just say BAM, POW KABOOM! I did it again baby! If you love crab, be them whole or the legs, try this recipe you will absolutely love love love it!!!!!! Hope you enjoy these crab legs as much as my husband and I have.

In a microwavable safe container or measuring cup, add 2 sticks of unsalted butter and heat until melted

After butter is melted add crushed garlic, cilantro and sea salt, whisk together until fully incorporated (be careful when you handle the butter, remember it’s hot)

LET’S FINISH THE CRAB LEGS!

Remove crab legs from pot with tongs and put in alimumin pan or serving dish

Pour the garlic and butter sauce evenly all over the crab legs

Season the crab legs with Old Bay and serve HOT!

For dipping the crab meat, you can use garlic butter sauce at bottom of dish or heat some more butter in microwavable bowl and add some apple cider vinegar, stir and dip baby dip!

ENJOY, LICK YOUR FINGERS!

You must be talking about Carl’s Crab. My husband and I were so sad when that place closed because we LOVED the garlic crabs. I’m so glad I came across this recipe! This will be dinner tonight and my hubby will be so surprised!

There’s no doubt that that Can You Get The Spark Back In a Marriage, entirelydifferentperspective.tumblr.com, need
